The World Perfumery Congress (WPC) 2022 is set to host three of the International Fragrance Association's (IFRA) representatives to discuss "How Global Regulatory Trends Impact Fragrance."

What are the global regulatory trends that are shaping the fragrance value chain? What is the impact of regulation on sustainability, innovation and well-being? With the IFRA team and members as your guides, this session takes you on a world tour, looking at different stages of the fragrance chain and how national, regional and international regulations are changing the way we work. The tour will look at how regulation impacts the supply of raw materials, fragrance creation, consumer goods and retail, giving practical examples from around the world.
